Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tenkiller fishing report for March 28, 2025. Sunrise today was at 6:24 AM and sunset will be at 7:34 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines.

Weather-wise, we're looking at a partly cloudy day with temperatures reaching a comfortable 72°F. There's a light breeze coming in from the southeast at about 5-10 mph, which should create some nice ripples on the water surface. Now, remember folks, Lake Tenkiller is a freshwater lake, so we don't have tides to worry about, but keep an eye on those dam releases as they can affect fish behavior.

The fishing has been heating up something fierce these past few days. The bass bite is on fire, with largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass all active. Anglers have been reporting catches in the 3-5 pound range, with a few lucky folks pulling in some real lunkers over 7 pounds. They're hitting hard on jigs and plastic worms in deeper water, especially around brush piles and rocky points. For you crankbait enthusiasts, try working the 8-12 foot range with medium-diving lures in shad patterns.

Crappie fishing has been stellar too, folks. They're schooling up nicely around brush piles and suspended timber in 15-20 feet of water. Minnows and small jigs in white or chartreuse have been the ticket. Some anglers are reporting limits of slabs in just a couple hours of fishing.

For you catfish lovers, the blue cats and channel cats are biting well on cut shad and stinkbait. Try fishing the deeper channels and creek mouths for best results. We've even had reports of a few stripers being caught trolling deep-diving crankbaits near the dam.

As for hot spots, I've been hearing good things about the area around Chicken Creek. The points and coves there have been producing some nice bass. For crappie, give Sixshooter Creek a try – there's some submerged timber there that's been holding some real slabs.

Bait-wise, the local shad population is thriving, so matching the hatch with shad-colored lures is a good bet. For live bait, nightcrawlers and minnows are always a solid choice this time of year.

Remember, the lake level is currently about normal, and the water temp is sitting around 62°F. That's prime for some pre-spawn action, so get out there and tight lines to ya!

Don't forget to swing by Dave's Bait & Tackle in Gore or Jimmy Houston Outdoors Store near Park Hill to stock up on supplies. They'll fix you up with everything you need for a successful day on the water.

Hey there, anglers! Artificial Lure here with your Lake Tenkiller fishing report for March 26, 2025. Let me tell ya, the fishing's been heating up something fierce lately!

First off, let's talk weather. We're looking at a partly cloudy day with temps reaching up to about 70°F. Winds are coming in from the southwest at around 10-15 mph, so keep that in mind when you're casting. Sunrise was at 6:35 AM, and we'll see the sun dip below the horizon at 7:28 PM, giving us plenty of daylight to wet our lines.

Now, since Tenkiller's a freshwater lake, we don't have any tidal report for ya. But the water level's holding steady at normal pool, and the clarity's crystal clear in most areas - you can see down 5 to 10 feet in some spots!

Alright, let's get to the good stuff - the fish! Largemouth and spotted bass have been on fire lately. Anglers have been pulling in some nice 3 to 5 pounders, with a few lunkers in the 6 to 8 pound range. The smallmouth bite's been decent too, especially around rocky points and drop-offs.

Crappie fishing's been excellent, with folks limiting out on slabs in the 10 to 12 inch range. They're starting to move shallow for the spawn, so keep an eye out for those brush piles in 8 to 15 feet of water.

For you catfish enthusiasts, both channel and blue cats have been active. We've seen some nice stringers coming in, with a few flatheads mixed in for good measure.

As for lures, plastic worms in green pumpkin or watermelon red have been killer for the bass. Don't forget your jigs and crankbaits too. For crappie, small jigs in white or chartreuse have been the ticket. If you're after cats, cut shad or nightcrawlers are your best bet.

Now, if you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying around Chicken Creek or Snake Creek. The points and coves in those areas have been producing some nice catches. Another good bet is the area around Strayhorn Landing - there's some great structure there that's been holding fish.

Remember, folks, the fish are moving shallow, so don't be afraid to get in close to the bank. And as always, be safe out there and have a great time on beautiful Lake Tenkiller!

Weather-wise, we're looking at partly cloudy skies today with highs around 68°F and a light breeze out of the southeast at 5-10 mph. Sunrise was at 6:35 AM and sunset will be at 7:28 PM. Water temp is sitting right around 54°F. No tides to worry about on this landlocked lake, of course.

Fish activity has really picked up over the last couple weeks as the water warms. Largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass are moving shallow, cruising the banks and points. Crappie are staging near brush piles and submerged timber. Catfish are getting more active too.

Recent reports show good numbers of bass being caught, with several in the 3-5 pound range. Crappie fishing has been excellent, with limits of slabs coming in daily. A few nice walleye have been caught as well.

For bass, try throwing a jerkbait or lipless crankbait along rocky points and bluff walls. A jig pitched to laydowns or brush is working well too. The Wiggle Wart crankbait in red crayfish has been hot lately. For crappie, small jigs or minnows fished around brush piles in 10-15 feet of water are the ticket. Catfish are hitting cut shad or nightcrawlers on the bottom.

If you're looking for some hot spots, I'd recommend trying the rocky points near Chicken Creek or the bluff walls down by Strayhorn Landing. The brush piles off Snake Creek have been holding some nice crappie. For smallmouth, focus on windblown points at the mouth of spawning pockets.

Remember to grab your fishing license and check the regulations before heading out. The crappie limit is 15 per day with a 10-inch minimum. Tight lines, everyone!

Alright folks, here's the latest scoop on fishin' at Lake Tenkiller for March 15, 2025.

Weather's lookin' decent today with partly cloudy skies and temps in the mid-60s. Winds are light out of the southwest at about 5-10 mph. Sunrise was at 6:42 AM and sunset will be at 7:23 PM.

Water temp's sittin' around 58 degrees, which means the bass are startin' to move up shallow for the pre-spawn. Lots of anglers have been havin' luck with largemouth and spotted bass in the 2-4 pound range, with a few bigger ones mixed in. Best action has been in 5-15 feet of water around points and creek channels leadin' into spawning pockets.

For lures, can't go wrong with a jerkbait like a Megabass Vision 110 or Lucky Craft Pointer 100 in shad colors. Slow rollin' a spinnerbait along rocky banks has also been producin'. If you're after numbers, tie on a Ned rig with a green pumpkin TRD.

Crappie fishin' has been hit or miss, but some nice slabs are bein' caught around brush piles in 15-20 feet. Minnows under a slip bobber or small jigs tipped with Crappie Nibbles have been the ticket.

For you catfish folks, channel cats are bitin' pretty good on cut shad or nightcrawlers fished on the bottom in 20-30 feet. A few flatheads have also been caught on live bluegill.

As for hot spots, I'd recommend checkin' out Sixshooter Creek or the Caney Creek area. The points and bluff walls near Strayhorn Landing have also been producin' some good fish.

Remember to grab your license and check the regs before headin' out. Tight lines, y'all!
